GO MU!
November 30, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
‘
Ryan and I are going to dinner and a movie with Gabe and Stephanie tonight. We are going to meet them for a movie, “Four Christmases” and then to Capital Grille for dinner. I am craving some cocunut cream pie, but I won’t eat it. Ryan don’t let me!
This will be another short week for work. I leave on Thursday morning at 6 am for Naples, FL with Stephanie and four other friends for a girls weekend. I can’t wait. Four days setting at the pool and hanging out at the beach. Can’t wait…I need the break. My friend Holly is coming over on Thursday night to help Ryan with Braelyn and then Ryan will take Brae to mom and dad’s on Friday afternoon and will pick her up sometime on Sunday. Spencer will be at his dad’s next weekend. Ryan will have a nice quiet weekend at home with Hoover and Sophie.
MU just sacked KU’s quarterback. Too bad he got up, not that I want him hurt too bad, just out for the game. Braelyn is tearing up what was my Pottery Barn catalog. I guess that is one way to keep me from buying something.
Spencer has spent the weekend with his dad. He’s been over there since Wednesday, I miss him. I know Brae misses him too, she crawls around babbling Bub, Bub, Bub. Ryan misses his Guitar Hero partner too.
Miss Brae is tired, I think its time for a nap and she’s eating paper…nice!
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!

GO MU!
November 29, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
It’s snowing outside. Our first snow of the year, althoug it’s not sticking, not quite cold enough for that yet. Ryan is at the Murphy’s taking pics of the kids for a Christmas card. Braelyn is crawling on Hoover trying to get to the table in the living room…oh wait, he moved. Braelyn has reached the table and is now opening the drawers. I am watching the MU – KU game. GO MIZZOU! MU just scored, are down 10-7 with 11 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. I want MU to stomp KU again. I realize that I live in Kansas, and just 40 minutes from Lawrence, but I grew up in Missouri – I’m loyal.

Mom: Barking Contest
November 28, 2008 by RebeccaElledge.com
As I sit here at the computer I can hear Maggie and Sophie having a contest with Sundance who lives next door. Hopefully they are not annoying too many people. Rockie Dogs are supposed to be better behaved. NOT.

Meeting Santa
November 27, 2008 by Braelyn
Today was a fun day for me! I went to Oak Park Mall with mommy, daddy and buba (that’s Spencer to you!). Daddy stood in line with me by some really pretty Christmas stuff, then he sat me on some jolly old man’s lap. I didn’t know what to think at first so I just stared at this “Santa” guy. I didn’t cry though because he seemed really nice. Then some funny lady rang a bell so I looked over at her and smiled big because I saw a camera, just like the one daddy has. She took my picture! It was fun sitting on Santa’s lap. I’m told he’s going to bring me presents in just about a month… right before my birthday! But, mommy says, only if I quit eating Sophie’s food. Hmmm, decisions, decisions….
Here’s my first picture with Santa!
I sat on Santa’s lap
It is so on!

Ryan and I are down to less than two weeks left until we leave KC for sunny, warm, relaxing Maui. I am very much looking forward to this trip. We both need the break, Ryan more so than me. We both need to unwind, relax and just chill for a week. I started looking at another island to visit, Kauai and Kona look pretty cool. Airfare is pretty cheap to either location, under $300 for both of us roundtrip. So we’ll see…if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
So, back to the "It is so on!"…now that we have less than two weeks to go, I really need to buckle down and get the last 5 lbs off. I’m down 10, but my goal was and is 15. I kind of screwed up this weekend, I tend to do that. I got up at 4:30 this morning and went to the gym, I ran a couple of miles at lunch and hope to do the same tomorrow…although I have a lunch meeting. BUT, I will get up at 4:30 and head to the gym tomorrow morning…note to self, set the alarm.
Okay, speaking of alarms our two alarms (Hoover and Sophie) are ready to come in from outside.
"It’s so on"…Rebecca
There and back again

Steve and I spent a week in the OP area with Ryan, Rebecca, Spencer, and Braelyn and oops I almost forgot… Hoover and Sophie. We got to see and take a nice ride on the beautiful boat. Such fun. Several days were rainy but we did have a great relaxing time and ATE at some of Steve’s favorite places. (Sonic, Jack Stack BBQ, Japanese steak house)..
We also went to the Argosy Casino. Would have been much better off financially if we would have had lunch and left. We left ok. Cash. We had fun though.
I got a new camera for my early birthday. I uploaded pictures yesterday from the trip and from both the old and the new cameras.
We had dinner with Wendy, Tony and the kids in Ft Collins on our way home Friday night. We are meeting them again in a couple of hours for an early birtday dinner for the Big B. He hasnt seen his mom, dad or the siblings in a while so this should be fun for all.
Little B is getting some hair. It is really blond so it is still hard to see…but yes it is there. She is moving all over the place, not quite crawling, but can go most anywhere she wants by rolling. She is so adorable. We went to a family birthday party for Spencer at Rebecca’s parents house in Harrisonville, MO. That was really nice.
Stevie had a tae kwando (not spelled right probably), yesterday in Cheyenne. He got a trophy in sparing and did several other events also. Mike and Steph are spending the afternoon on the mountain with friends at a bonfire. The temp in town is not really warm…. bet it is chilly up there. BRRRRR.
The pugs faired well with Brandon while we were gone. They still try to find him in the basement when he is working or to go to bed. They kept him company while we were gone, but he says it was awfully quiet and kind of boring here. He is used to lots of people around. He seems to be liking Safeway and most importantly school…..
Courtney made the varsity softball team, Keegan is ready for football, and Nate had his senior pictures taken last week, so they are as busy as ever down there. Ashley has started dancing again so that should keep her busy with school also. Stevie has flag football starting here soon too. We thought we were going to get to see Spencer play soccer, but it was raining the game day and they opted not to tear up the fields because it was so wet.
Guess I have caught up with most everyone. I start my bible studies this week again. I have a completely new group of ladies in my group, I only know one of them so it will be great meeting new people. Kind of intimidating though. I know God has a plan for this group, I just am always fearful of taking on a new group. Yes, stepping out of my box. Will be fun though. We are doing Romans, James and Ephesians this year. Will be my 3rd time through it…. There must be something more God wants me to figure out here. Our community group starts next monday and we are doing a DVD series to start with on Choices and such. It should be great. Alice is doing the first week, so that should be great also.
Well we are about to leave to meet the B’s mom, dad and kids in wheatland for dinner.
God Bless and one more thing…. I read a book coming home from OP….. “The Shack”.. A must read for everyone….. EXCELLENT… and inspirational filled with answers to some pretty hard questions. Take my advise…. READ IT. You wont be sorry.
Love to all,
Mom
Nebraska is LONG
August 30, 2008 by Vickie Elledge
Brandon is home babysitting Maggie and Sophie (he is also working most of the weekend). We arrived in OP about 2:30 this afternoon. Long drive, but other than about a million trucks, pretty uneventful.
Little B is sitting up by herself, and has noticable hair which she did not have when we saw her a month ago. She is so funny. Going to a birthday party for Spencer tomorrow at his grandma and grandpas house. They have moved to a new house in Harrisonville.
I was kind of excited for the RNC but this hurricane scares me. It would not surprise me if they cancel the convention if this hurricane is as bad as it looks like it is going to be. My prayers go out for those people in the gulf coast area and in the Caymans and Cuba and all the affected areas.
I know I am thrilled with Mc Cains choice of running mate. I feel a bit of confidence now that perhaps there is a chance we will win this election… Positive thinking. I really like the lady, her spunk and her ideas. Makes the campaign interesting again.
Well I am tired.. Just got off the phone with Steph, they had a blow out on their car by Glenrock and have been waiting on the highway for a long time because they had to call onstar to come out. Makes for a long day.
Well..God bless all
GO MC CAIN/PALIN…
Vote Republican
